Tips and Tricks

• Workflow Documentation: Use notes on key nodes (like Loaders, Checkpoints, Samplers) to explain their role or settings.
• Parameter Tracking: Note down specific seeds, CFG scales, or prompt keywords that produced interesting results.
• Troubleshooting: Document errors encountered or specific settings needed to make a custom node work correctly.
• Idea Repository: Jot down ideas for workflow improvements or variations directly on the relevant nodes.
• Global Overview: Use the global panel to quickly review all annotations in a complex workflow.

Here are the 5 options:

• 🔴 Node selection required – You must manually select the node to which the note should be added.
• 🟡 Title match – Matches the node's name, but not its ID.
• 🟡 ID match – Use this if you renamed the node to which you want to attach the note and are absolutely sure of your actions.
• 🟢 Full match (ID and title) – The best option for loading; it ensures a 100% match.
• ⚪ Selected manually – The node is selected manually.
